Rainbow Six Vegas Walkthrough

3. Story walkthrough

This section of the walkthrough is for the single player achievements in the main story mode and terrorist hunt. They are listed in the order you will most likely unlock them in.

The true Identity achievement requires the Xbox Live Vision Camera. For whatever reason, the Kinect will not work as a substitute.

Each Single Play Campaign achievement is broken down into scenes and chapters where you must complete all chapters for the achievement. There are too many videos to post in the walkthrough. For walkthrough videos on the missions, please visit http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD3D5F4546C0EB859 . Because I've gone through the effort to create these videos, I will not spend as much time explaining through text.

Next we have the terrorist hunt mission achievements. There are only two that can be unlocked in single player mode. These two can be unlocked by completing all the missions one time on Realistic difficulty. The description says that it needs to be done splitscreen, but the only way to unlock them is in single player. You must complete the missions: Bordertown, Calypso Casino, Casino Vault, Dam, Library, Kill House, Dantes, Research Labs, LVU Campus, and Streets. You can put the enemy density on low. Using a Riot Shield and any pistol you are comfortable with is probably your best bet for completing the missions in a minimal amount of tries.

Next we will be covering the multiplayer aspect of the achievements. You will spend the majority of your time trying to unlock these. We will start off with the Ranking achievements, then Co-op achievements, and then the versus mode achievements.

Glitching your rank will not help you to unlock these achievements. XP is only earned in Online Versus, Online Terrorist Hunt and Online Co-op Campaign. You will not be able to see the exact amount of XP you have, but will be able to see your progress through each rank in the Service Record under the Player Info menu. XP for versus is determined by how long the game lasts, how many players are present, and whether you win or lose. To get the most XP, you need to play 20 minute games with pretty much a full room. The max XP earned for one game is 1200 in versus. For terrorist hunt, the max you can earn is 600 per game and you must have it on realistic difficulty with enemy density on high.

Becoming a Private 1st Class requires you to earn 3,000 xp.

Master of Ceremonies is hit or miss if you do not have a decent group of people to help you unlock this one. There are many impatient people who do not like to wait in a lobby while it fills up.
